Archean phosphorus liberation induced by iron redox geochemistry.
Barry Herschy,Sae Jung Chang,Ruth E. Blake,Aivo Lepland,Heather Abbott-Lyon,Jacqueline M. Sampson,Z. D. Atlas,Terence P. Kee,Matthew A. Pasek +8 more
TL;DR: A new route to solubilizing phosphorus in the ancient oceans is reported: reduction of phosphate to phosphite by iron(II) at low (<200 °C) diagenetic temperatures, which ameliorates the issue of a low Archean phosphorus supply.
Distinctive Coordination of CO vs N2 to Rhodium Cations: An Infrared and Computational Study
TL;DR: The frequency shifts in vibrational frequencies relative to the uncoordinated ligands give insight into the nature of the bonding interactions involved and are explained by a combination of σ donation and electrostatic ligand polarization.

The evolution of the surface of the mineral schreibersite in prebiotic chemistry
Nikita L. La Cruz,D. Qasim,Heather Abbott-Lyon,Claire Pirim,Aaron D. McKee,Thomas M. Orlando,Maheen Gull,Danny Lindsay,Matthew A. Pasek +8 more
TL;DR: A synthetic analogue of the meteoritic mineral schreibersite (Fe,Ni)3P was synthesized by mixing stoichiometric proportions of elemental iron, nickel and phosphorus and heating in a tube furnace for approximately 235 hours under argon or under vacuum, a modification of the method of Skála and Drábek (2002).
Adsorption of Water, Methanol, and Formic Acid on Fe2NiP, a Meteoritic Mineral Analogue
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of an analogue to the meteoritic mineral schreibersite or (Fe,Ni)3P was investigated to provide insight into the interaction of the mineral surface with prebiotic molecules such as water, methanol, and formic acid.

Multimodal Vacuum-Assisted Plasma Ion (VaPI) Source with Transmission Mode and Laser Ablation Sampling Capabilities
TL;DR: A multimodal ion source design that can be configured on the fly for various analysis modes, designed for more efficient and reproducible sampling at the mass spectrometer atmospheric pressure (AP) interface in a number of different applications is developed.
